Polyglot Bible: Luke: Luke 24

This is the closing chapter of the Gospel of Luke (chapter 24) presented in a parallel-text format, with the Greek New Testament (GNT) on the left and the King James Version (KJV) on the right, the KJV including Strong's Concordance reference numbers after each word. The passage narrates the resurrection of Jesus: women find the empty tomb and are told by two angels that Jesus has risen, the disciples initially disbelieve their report, and Peter runs to verify the empty tomb. The narrative then follows two disciples on the road to Emmaus, where a stranger (Jesus incognito) walks with them, interprets the scriptures about the Messiah, and is recognized only when he breaks bread before vanishing. The passage concludes with Jesus appearing bodily to the gathered disciples — eating fish to prove he is not a ghost, opening their minds to understand scripture, commissioning them to preach repentance to all nations, and ascending to heaven as they worship and return to Jerusalem with joy. The text's distinctive feature is its strong emphasis on bodily resurrection: Luke alone includes the detail of Jesus eating broiled fish and inviting physical touch to refute the disciples' assumption that they are seeing a spirit.
